Milan 2011 - Rolf Sachs

We love Rolf Sachs, and were looking forward to his installation at Milan 2011 more than most.



Clearly indebted to Edgar Allen Poe this time round, the disembodied heartbeat in the one room is joined in a kind of hideous chorus by a series of breathy sighs chasing around a darkened room next door - the sounds in this case emanating from caged pillows scattered around the floor.



Turn the sound up for this strangely eerie installation for Rolf Sachs - the reflective red pool pulsates in time with the heartbeat.

Milan part 1 : Rolf Sachs

We like the Rolf Sachs show 'flawLESS imPERFECTions' at Studio Visconti on corso Monforte in Milan. Some old favourites mingled with some new works in a beautiful pallazzo or villa type space. We enjoyed a lot of this kind of juxtaposition in Milano. In particular we all fell in love with the giant courtyard surrounded by buildings - it was the size of a proper park. The work itself included some beautiful one way mirrored bell jars lit from within, so you could only see their contents when the light was on, and a fantastic lit laboratory. Small but perfectly formed, well done Rolf Sachs.
